My first Macro Monday. I have been waiting for a good time to squeeze this shot in. Saw the theme for this week and decided it was a good time to join the group and post this picture. This was taken while waiting at Golden States Foods in City of Industry, California.

I added a new flower to my dreamed of spring bulb garden - a beautiful red Windflower. After I took its "welcome to my garden" photo, I took that photo to Deep Dream Generator and then to Topaz Studio for a happy result :)

The artist is the confidant of nature, flowers carry on dialogues with him through the graceful bending of their stems and the harmoniously tinted nuances of their blossoms. Every flower has a cordial word which nature directs towards him.

Auguste Rodin

the light faded that sunday afternoon ..but the fresh planted cyclamen glowed by themselves!

.

A flower of the common houseleek (Sempervivum tectorum), a popular garden succulent after the rain. Houseleeks also called Thunder plants, Roof plants or Roof foil (amongst many others) which originated from early beliefs that they could protect houses from lightning strikes. Whether this is true or not, houseleeks are evergreen, readily self-propagated, with attractive reddish-purple flower spikes. The science name “Sempervivum” translates from Latin ‘forever living’ and refers to its longevity, whereas the epithet “tectorum” means ‘of house roofs’ refers to the original use of the plant. Houseleeks remain popular on green roofs of outbuildings today. Taken in the garden. Bath, BANES; Somerset, England, UK

Taken in the Dahlia garden, near “De Piepermolen” te Rekken.
